Longest was 6 weeks on Captain Fingers at Rumney...you can cheat and go right, but I wanted to get it the way it was designed. Thing is...its an awful route!!! lol

Grammy, I agree CF is not a very good route but it is addictive. I think you mean "cheat" and go left to the arete. It used to be considered cheating but everyone seems to be doing it that way now. But good for you for sticking to the original line!

Let's see - I have 34 on the list, and it doesn't include anything at Rumney. 6 are listed as 'Community Service', meaning they are other people's routes that need cleaning, new anchors or bolts replaced, but I would like to also climb them. Black Flies, 357, On Green Dolphin Street, Premarital Blisters and a couple others at Greens are part of those. 357 is out of my league these days and maybe Black Flies, but I still want to play on them. The rest are anything from completely ready to go and have TRed cleanly and just need to get out there with someone, to 'haven't started' 'still needs heavy cleaning' and a few 'a dream's that I haven't even rapped down yet. Aside from some of the 'dreams' and 'community services', I think there are only 2 that I realistically haven't got a chance in hell on, and they are definitely open projects.
